Chapter 31: The Battle of Shinjinkan (6)

Matsugami Yoshinobu suddenly felt a lot of pressure when he saw that everyone in the assessment room was looking at him, but he still stubbornly continued. "Father, the Shinjin family is the in-law and ally of the family no matter what. If the family ignores the Shintsu family's pleas for help, I'm afraid I'll lose the prestige of my Matsugami family. Therefore, I beg my father to send troops to rescue the Xinjin family this time. ”

The retainers of the Shinzu family were in an uproar after hearing Matsugami Yoshinobu's words. Although it is said that the family is now divided into two factions on whether to send troops to the Xinjin family, it makes sense that the young master is on either side. However, Matsugami Yoshinobu did not start from the interests of his own family for the reason of whether to send troops to rescue the Shinzu family, but blindly said stupid things such as in-laws and allies, which was too disappointing. In the troubled times of the Warring States without a father and children, can such a family head lead the family to survive? The retainers couldn't help but be suspicious at this time.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki was also a little disappointed in this son at this time, it seems that he was fascinated by the woman of the Shinjin family, and it was time to find him a side room. Matsugami Yoshiyuki thought so. Ignoring Matsugami Yoshinobu's opinion, it took a while for Matsugami Yoshiyuki to speak again. "Do you have any opinions that disagree with Lord Ohno? Otherwise, the main hall will ......"

"My lord, I also agree with the young master's point of view, that my family should send troops to rescue the Xinjin family." As soon as Matsugami Yoshiyuki wanted to adopt Ono Heinobu's opinion, Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who also came to participate in the evaluation, stood up and said something in support of Matsukami's views.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile. "Yoshimitsu, if you support Yoshinobu because he is the son of the main hall, then you don't have to."

"The lord is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, even if this resolution is not proposed by the young lord, he will support it." Matsugami replied.

"Oh, why is that?" Matsugami Yoshiyuki became interested, after all, most of the retainers of the family were reluctant to send troops to rescue the Shintsu family.

Matsugami replied. "My lord, I agree that the rescue of the Xinjin family is not to protect the Xinjin family, but for the sake of the great cause of my Matsugami family. The lord imagined that if the Shintsu family was annexed by the Katayama family and the Umedo family, then the Katayama family would have the strength to unify the Mugun. At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect my family in Yuanmu County. Lord, please make a quick decision. After Matsugami finished speaking, he looked at Matsugami Yoshiyuki and waited for him to make a decision.

After listening to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's analysis, Matsugami Yoshiyuki first frowned, and after a while, he stretched out and said happily. "It's a shame that this family has a capable minister like Yoshimitsu, otherwise the palace will almost miss a big thing. The main hall has now made a decision, and the family will immediately send troops to rescue the Shinjin family. ”

"Haha." The retainers of the Matsugami family received the order in unison. ......

Although both the Matsugami family and the Shintsu family have a stone height of about 10,000 koku, the combined territory of the two families is actually only the size of a town. Therefore, after Matsugami Yoshiyuki made the decision to rescue the Shintsu family, the samurai of the Matsugami family, the ashigaru, marched quickly, and as soon as it was dark, they rushed to the vicinity of the Shintsukan and set up camp in a hidden place.

Matsugami Army Military Tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the family has now arrived not far from the Xinjin Pavilion. I wonder how the Japanese family will respond? Do you have any opinions? In the military tent, Matsugami Yoshiyuki asked a group of retainers.

"Father, tomorrow the Japanese family can lead the army to break through the blockade of the Katayama Umedo family on the Shintsu Pavilion. At that time, the family and the Xinjin family will join forces, and then with the danger of the Xinjin Pavilion, the family will definitely be able to keep the Xinjin Pavilion. Matsugami Yoshinobu stood up impatiently again.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki saw that his eldest son was so eager to rescue the Shinjin family, and his face suddenly became cloudy. Yoshinobu's statement is indeed a good way for now, but if this rescue of the Xinjin family fails, will the family also be trapped in the Xinjin Pavilion and buried with the Xinjin family? Thinking of this, Matsugami Yoshiyuki became even more disappointed in his eldest son. He's the only son of the main hall, so he can't help but attach too much importance to the interests of the Shinjin family and ignore the safety of the family. Am I going to lose this son? Matsugami Yoshiyuki had a lot of thoughts for a while. He went on without commenting on Matsukami's proposal. "Do any of you have a different opinion?"

All eyes were on Yoshimitsu Matsugami, who was doing a good job but didn't know what he was thinking. Matsugami Yoshimitsu suddenly felt very embarrassed when he saw everyone looking at him. Do I want to be "reactionary"? If your plan works, why should I do it again and again?

"Yoshimitsu, just say what you think." Matsugami Yoshiyuki saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was in a daze, and couldn't help but speak.

Seeing that the lord also said this, Matsugami Yoshitoshi couldn't patronize it, and complained in his heart, so he quickly stood up and said. "Lord, I think that my family is not suitable to enter the Xinjin Pavilion. Originally, with the danger of the Xinjin Pavilion, it was a good way for the two families to defend against the enemy army together. However, the Shintsu family has suffered heavy losses since the battle of Komixia the day before yesterday and is unable to fight again, and the family hastily dispatched troops this time in order to rescue the Shintsu family. The family now has only more than 100 troops. If you blindly enter the Xinjin Pavilion and fight the Xinjin family together, I'm afraid it won't help, but it may implicate the family. ”

"Then Yoshimitsu, what plan do you have to rescue the Xinjin family, this family can't do nothing, right?" Matsugami Yoshiyuki saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu had the same concerns as himself, and hurriedly asked.

"My lord, that's exactly what I'm going to say." Matsugami Yoshimitsu continued. "The family can't defend against the enemy together with the Xinjin family in the Xinjin Pavilion, but the family can retreat outside the Xinjin Pavilion."

"What? Defend against enemies outside the city. After Matsugami Yoshimitsu finished speaking, the audience was shocked for a moment.

"Deserted, the danger of the Xinjin Pavilion cannot guarantee that the enemy will be repulsed. What's the use of defending against enemies outside the city now? Yiguang Temple, look down there you are dizzy. Ohno Hiranobu, who has always been hostile to Matsukami Yoshimitsu, even laughed directly.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki also seemed to be shocked by Matsugami Yoshimitsu's words, and he asked suspiciously. "Outside the city, defeat the two coalition forces of Katayama and Meito. Yoshimitsu, what do you mean by that? ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that everyone was a little puzzled, and hurriedly explained. "My lord, I didn't say that I would repel the coalition forces of Katayama and Meihu outside the city in one fell swoop, but that I would repel the Katayama family. In addition, if the main family fights the Katayama family outside the castle, they will have an unexpected ally. ”

"Allies? Who are you referring to? Matsugami Yoshiyuki asked with some surprise.

"My lord, this ally is the Umedo family." Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't let everyone wait too long before continuing. "The Umedo family and the Katayama family are an alliance of interests, and the two families have a feud. Originally, if the two were only a small victory this time, their alliance would not have any problems. But they won too easily this time, and the Katayama Umedo family defeated the Shintsu family with little to no loss. The strength of the Katayama family is higher than that of the Umeto family, and if Umeto Takahiro were smart, he would not sit idly by and watch the Katayama family grow. If this is the time of the house

If it is reasonable, then the Meihu family will definitely fall to this family. At that time, the two families will be defeated. ”

"Yes, Yoshimitsu. It's a good plan, and the stakes are high. I'll leave it to you to contact the Umedo family. Matsugami Yoshiyuki said with a smile.

"Haha." Matsugami Yoshimitsu had expected it and immediately received his order. ......
